Welcome to the world of Online Trading. Now before you go off and enjoy yourself, you must first read and understand the ground rules. That way, you'll not end up breaking them and end up losing your trading privileges for a while (Because we do enforce our rules strictly).

7 Rules-

0. Yu-Gi-Oh's Trading Rules will always beat your rules.1. A Moderator's word is law.2. You are only allowed 1 trading thread per week (7 days).3. All trading threads must follow minimum standards before being posted.4. If an item is not mint, it's condition must be provided to the other trader.5. A person has only up to 10 business days to send out after confirmation/receiving.6. The person sending is responsible for their end reaching the other trader.8. Never post a person's personal information.

0. Yu-Gi-Oh's Trading Rules will always beat your rules.

Pretty simple, you can't do something that we don't allow (Even if you don't agree with it, it's not your forum after all). If you are unsure if something is allowed (After reading this) then please feel free to post your question on the Official Q&A Thread.

1. A Moderator's word is law.

A Moderator's duty is not only to uphold the rules and standards of the Pojo forums, but to also ensure the safety and well being of all it's users. So when a Moderator tells you something, rest assured it's for the good of everybody.

2. You are only allowed 1 trading thread per week (7 Days).

This rule only applies for threads on the same forum (So posting 2 threads in the Yu-Gi-Oh trading forum is not allowed). Also note, the European Yu-Gi-Oh and North American Yu-Gi-Oh forums count as one so you are only allow to have one trading thread for the both of them (Where it is located is up to you).

3. All trading threads must follow minimum standards before being posted.

A. A set of rules - These include where you ship to, who you ship to, and any other things that you want all traders on your list to know.

B. Haves - These are items that you and only you own, and have on you. So this means that you can't trade a friend's/teammate's items, nor can you trade items that are not yours yet ("Pending Items"). Though you don't need to put everything you own, you need to have at least 10 items for trade.

C. Wants - Pretty self-explanatory, put down things that you want. You don't need to put ever single thing, but put enough so that people can get a general idea (Again, 10 minimum). You can NOT have "Money Only" wants (Or having money as a want while the other ones are too expensive or worth nothing at all), either way if selling is your primary goal your thread will get closed (Trading is the main focus).

4. If an item is not mint, it's condition must be provided to the other trader.

This means you can not have stuff like "If you don't ask, you don't care" posted. Not informing the other trader about your items is deceitful and lazy.

5. A person has only up to 10 business days to send out after confirmation/receiving.

When a trade is confirmed (With the exchanging of addresses) or a person receives a package, the user sending out then has up to 7 business days to send out their end. Not sending within those 7 business days can officially result in the trader receiving a warning for a temporary ban. If the trader takes over 14 business days to send, then you may report them (This may result in a temporary ban or a fixed ban).

If there is to be a delay in the package shipping then it is the duty of the trader to inform their partner of this PRIOR TO CONFIRMING THE TRADE. If there is to be a delay in shipping after the trade is confirmed (Due to emergency, Acts of God, Etc.), then they are to inform there trading partner A.S.A.P. (If it's legitimate, then the delay will be excusable).

Regardless on how long the package takes to get from point A to point B, as long as they have sent within that time frame they are safe from receiving a possible ban. The only exception to this is if they had to re-send due to insufficient postage.

If you wish to prove when you sent out, KEEP THE RECEIPT AND SAVE YOUR PM'S. This replaces what people often refer to as "The 30 Day Rule".

6. The person sending is responsible for their end reaching the other trader.

If a package is damaged during shipping and it was preventable, then the person shipping can be held responsible. To prevent damage from happening use Toploaders, Bubble Mailers and/or Cushioning on all your packages.

7. Never post a person's personal information.

Since we are a public board, we are required by law not to disclose any person's personal information at any time (Including your own). Such things include: Name, Address, Telephone Number, and Email Address.

The only acceptations to this rule is when you are confirming a trade (Which is done over the PM system with the other user) or when if MODERATOR requests it (Which is also done over the PM system).

If you follow the 7 Rules, then you can trade away!Otherwise, just don't bother trading.
